NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 Certified Hard Drive Wiping
When Cheval organizations need certified media sanitization, NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 defines the federal standard, requiring verified software overwrite or physical destruction for all data-bearing devices. STS implements multiple certified erasure algorithms including DoD 5220.22-M seven-pass overwrite, Gutmann 35-pass method, and cryptographic erasure, with device-level NAID certified data destruction verification reporting for every drive processed.
According to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach costs $4.88 million, exposure that grows with every drive leaving custody without certified sanitization documentation. STS Electronic Recycling serves Cheval organizations including Hillsborough County Public Schools (the 8th-largest U.S. school district, 206 campuses) with NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 compliant erasure and drive reuse eligibility. For media requiring physical destruction, our Cheval hard drive shredding service provides witnessed on-site options.
